Modeling of Steelmaking Processes

Addresses Fundamental Principles of Physical and Mathematical Modeling in Steelmaking Processes

Modeling of Steelmaking Processes

meets that ever-present demand and provides a solid knowledge base on which to build. With content designed to serve professionals and students, this book starts with an overview of steelmaking and develops into a focused description of underlying scientific fundamentals and applications.

This powerful learning tool:

• Presents an overview of steelmaking, the relevance of modeling and measurements, the evolution of steelmaking, and modern technology
• Discusses emerging issues, such as environmental emissions, recycling, and product development and quality
• Reviews computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software
• Analyzes mechanistic, AI-based, and macroscopic models, to provide a holistic view of steelmaking process modeling
• Provides useful questions and problems, as well as a practice session on modeling, to reinforce understanding

Developed as a self-tutorial, this text explores thermodynamic principles, analysis of metallurgical kinetics and transport phenomena, and key numerical methods, helping readers easily navigate a generally complex subject.
